Hmm, a day earlier than expected, what shall we do today? We hitch a ride with the hop-on hop-off bus to the main office, since that is the only place where we can upgrade our ticket. Instead of 1 day we have time for 2. As an added bonus, with a 2 day ticket you can also participate in the evening tour, which follows a different …

We powered up with bananas for breakfast, loaded our packs with 2 litres of water and headed out for the trek to Vernal Falls. The trail begins at the Happy Isles trail head in Yosemite Valley and travels generally east-southeast. This is one of the shortest (2.6 miles round trip) hikes but it climbs over 1000 feet, the final 30 minutes of the …

We left Salinas around 8 AM and picked up the Pacific Coast Highway one more time headed for San Francisco. It was a drive of about a hundred miles and was very beautiful with many scenic vista stops, numerous State Beach Parks and interesting things to see everywhere. It was rare that we went more than five miles without pulling over for a few …

Back driving down again (and past Tunnel View for another quick photo!) and onto the valley floor again. We decide to take Highway 140 out so we get to go out on a different road, following the river. There is a checkpoint on the way out again, where they ask us for our receipt we received on the way in – which we realise is buried somewhere …

He was very helpful..... but had his hand out at the end...wrong person to ask...Peter...doesn't do forced charity.

Today, we left San Francisco via the massive double decker Oakland Bay Bridge and drove up to Yosemite National Park where we stayed in a tent cabin at Curry Village along with hundreds of locals on summer vacation. Our tent has 3 single beds and one double bed. When we first got here, the tent was really hot (as it is outside), so we walked around …

We ended up getting woken up at 11am instead of 9am. We had to be out of the hotel by noon so we rushed around packing up and we managed to get out by 12:15. We got in our Dodge Grand Caravan which was so awesome and space age like. There were 3 seats in the back, 2 in the middle and 2 in the front with sliding doors on either side. You could walk …
